I recently noticed that the graphics viewers were not working from
lynx when the DJGPP port was run under bash. The problem was that
local file paths were given in DOS form (with backslashes), as might
be required by outside utilities, but the bash shell was stripping the
backslashes. This patch should escape the backslashes when a unix-type
shell is in the SHELL environment variable. As far as I can tell, with
this patch the DJGPP port works fine whether run under command.com or
under bash. Note that the behavior of system() under DJGPP depends on
the value of the SHELL variable, not on the actual shell that is
running.
Remember that I am not a programmer, so please check the code.
